self control, meet Ashley.... then say goodbye.

so, it's plain and clear.
i need self control.
and i found it.
i met her today!
in a quick run to the mall....
Hellooooo self control....

i needed to go to the apple store for iWork for my macbook.
i didn't take Lewie's stroller, purposely, so that i would carry him.
which means i wouldn't last long at all in the mall
(not that i would anyway)
but, this worked out even better.
i parked right by nordstrom (stupid me), but that's right next to the apple store.
it wasn't as difficult to walk by it on the way IN as it was on the way OUT....
but i didn't even give it a 2nd thought....
no way, no how.
no money to spend.
keep walking.
(after all, i'd just spent enough at the apple store for the stinkin iWork)
anyway....
needless to say, it felt WONDERFUL to walk straight past Nordy's without spending a dime.
(that darned store gets me every time)....
i even drove home for lunch.
i didn't mooch any off of my mom or her house,
nor did i stop at the drive thru on the way home.
i came all the way home and made a bowl of pasta alfredo. YUM!
Jason would be proud....

until....
....it came time to heating it in the microwave.....
i pulled the brownies out of the micro, (because i had to heat up the pasta, and that's where we keep the brownies so they don't get dried out and so that Asia doesn't devour them)....
and they were calling.... no SCREAMING my name.... "ASHLEY.... please eat me before we get hard and die...."
....
and so i ate them.... well a sliver.... probably a little bit shorter than a plastic knife and no wider than one either....

good bye self control....

.... at least i didn't stop at Nordstrom....
